I already did -- the last one he posted here, that is. I still have questions.

I'd say that none of those things have anything to do with phenomenal 
consciousness. If you look above the "bit and electron" level, they have to do 
with information and symbols. Information and subjective first-person 
experience are two completely different things, and I can see no guarantee that 
one causes the other, either.
